Court Builders
From bare ground to a finished, striped court, built to handle Central Texas soil and UV year after year.
Built Right or Built Again
Cutting corners on base prep or drainage creates problems that no surface coating can fix later.
A court laid on ungraded ground traps water under the slab, causing the surface to heave and crack within a few seasons.
The builder maps slope and soil type before any base material is chosen, so drainage is designed into the build from day one.
Applying asphalt over clay-heavy soil without proper drainage provision leads to base movement and surface cracking under Austin’s heat cycles.
Concrete or asphalt is chosen based on actual site conditions, soil type, slope, and drainage, not a one-size default.
A single-coat acrylic application wears through quickly under Austin’s UV load, leaving bare base exposed within two to three years.
Acrylic sport surface is applied in multiple layers with proper cure time between each coat, so the finish holds up to sustained UV exposure.
Net posts set without concrete footings at regulation spacing shift over time, making net height inconsistent and the court unplayable to standard.
Net post footings are poured in concrete at regulation spacing, keeping net height consistent and the structure stable for the life of the court.
Full Scope
Every stage from raw ground to a regulation-striped, fenced court is handled in one written scope.
The site is graded to a consistent slope so runoff clears the court surface and does not pool under the slab.
The base is poured or laid to suit the site’s soil conditions, with compaction checked before the surface coat is applied.
Multiple coats of acrylic sport surfacing are applied with cure intervals between layers to resist UV wear and surface cracking.
Net posts are set in concrete at regulation spacing, and perimeter fencing is installed to the clearance area required for safe play.
Court lines are applied to ITF specifications so the finished surface is ready for singles and doubles play without adjustment.
Private court builds on large residential lots.
Multi-court installs for shared community facilities.
Regulation courts for school campuses and sports clubs.
New acrylic surface on an existing stable base.
Why Choose Us
Every job is backed by a clear process, from the first site visit to the final walkthrough, so nothing is left to assumption.
A site visit assesses slope, soil, and drainage before any written estimate is produced.
The estimate lists base prep, surfacing, fencing, and line marking separately, no bundled lump sums.
The job is not closed until a walkthrough confirms every element of the scope has been completed to standard.
Builders are familiar with caliche, limestone, and clay conditions common across Austin and the surrounding Hill Country.
Backyard courts, HOA facilities, school campuses, and commercial properties are all within the service scope.
If the base is stable, a new acrylic surface can be applied without a full rebuild, confirmed on-site before work is scoped.
The Process
01
Submit your site details and we’ll schedule a site visit to assess slope, soil type, and drainage, and confirm the build scope.
02
You receive an itemised estimate covering base preparation, acrylic surfacing, fencing, net posts, and line striping before any work starts.
03
The builder completes every stage in sequence and walks the finished court with you before the job is signed off.
